Many things there were potentially considered deviant or shocking are now becoming the norm and one thing that is unarguably true through all of this is that haters gonna hate. Controversial content can be empowering, especially for those who were never privileged enough to be able to experience an alternate perspective. As the internet obliterates geographical boundaries, there is a variety in the content that is being produced, invoking deviance disclaimers from those who don’t have a stomach for it and defiance from those who relate to it. In both cases, it’s not easy to discern who’s right and who’s wrong, mostly because it’s so difficult to define certain issues arbitrarily in the first place. Defiance indicates resistance, a form of action whereas deviance indicates that which is not conventional or normal, a perception. Though both are similar-sounding words, the meanings are vastly different. Whether it’s in the interpretation of the art, reflecting the sensibilities of the artist or massive movement against systemic racism challenging history to alter the pathway to the future, change is happening whether you’re ready for it or not.īut it can so happen that one wo/man’s idea of defiance is another’s idea of deviance. Defiance has been weaved into the overtones and undertones of important events and activities of this decade.
